Waking up? Inertia. Takes five alarms.

Getting up from bed? Inertia. Takes half an hour.

Making the bed? Inertia. 2 days out of 7.

And on and on it goes.

How do I become one of them “up and at em” types? A real go getter bucko?

    Yeah, I’m gonna do the trial month of this dumb add-on depression med (Rexulti), then I have another appointment with him. If he still doesn’t want to diagnose I’ll go somewhere else.

    only recently they were trained to diagnosis adhd in adults

    Does that mean a younger doctor would be better?

    The easiest way to test is to eat half a buddies adhd pill and see if it makes you calm or gives you a panic attack.

    That requires having a buddy :sadness:

    But really I’m already pretty certain that adhd meds will help.

      I mean, technically it is appropriate to work down the tree of differential diagnoses before you hand out controlled substances.

      You never can tell. Cause a young doc is fresh out of med school being taught by old docs. My doc is a proper Dr feelgood. He will hand out any pill you ask for pretty much but he is old and burnt out.

      If you wanna do some reading there are some more actually informative and definitive ways to identify if you might. If you Google Ologies ADHD you find a podcast that has a bunch of the stuff all neatly organized that is easy to listen to.
